Show 6B THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, December 31, 1987 See 'Broadcast News' For Comedy, Passion, Drama SEEN ON THE SCREEN DEPT.: OK, lets start off with the fact that while I was running through the films playing at your local the holiday theaters during season I neglected to mention Throw Momma From The Train which is a very funny comedy starring Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal. NufT said? This week the big opener, from 20th Century Fox, is Broadcast News starring William Hurt, Albert Brooks and Holly Hunter in a film written by James L. Brooks whose last film was the Academy Award winning Terms of Endearment. First, Ive got to say that while Hurt and Brooks have turned in extremely credible performances, the pivotal role belongs to Holly Hunter as Jane Craig, the young and ambitious news producer. takes her Her performance through just about every emotion imagineable and she manages to pull each one off with the aplomb of an older, more experienced actress. Her ability to go from drama to comedy, passion, romance and tears throughout this solidly structured film prove just what a fine talent she is and you can bet youll be seeing her again in roles where she will receive the top billing. Shes another Kelli Li dell to acting. the L. James Brooks, writerproducerdirector of Broadcast News has been around the business long enough to craft an intelligent, funny script dealing with the necessities and personal complications of putting on a news broadcast and carrying on relationships at the persona same time. Its Brooks keen knowledge and understanding of the situations that actually exist which allow him to direct his well assembled cast. Blood, sweat, tears, determinaand tion, passion, ambition mixed in that special egotism James L. Brooks script and award winning direction make Broadcast News a film that constantly delivers on all levels and holds interest from start to finish.
